Re: [RE-wrenches] ground

[Kent Osterberg]

See NEC 250.52. If there is 10 feet of pipe in the ground, that qualifies as a grounding electrode. The foundation rebar qualifies as a grounding electrode too, but it must have a length of at least 20 feet. If using multiple pieces to get 20 feet they must be bonded (or simply wired) together.

I need to ask the inspector too, but thought I'd ask here first.   Todd
